+P ammo for 45/70 in Canada

[9.3x62]

is anyone importing Garrett, Corbon, Buffalo Bore or the equivalent higher pressure ammo for the 45/70?

If they're not approved, then nobody can import them. The approval costs and requirements are the same if you import 1 cartridge or 100 million........

Reload, seriously, reload.

Unless one box is gonna set you up for life, the cost of a Lee setup will be absorbed by your fourth box of premium high pressure 45/70. Straight wall case, readily available bullets, in whatever weight you feel like, and being able to say you made them yourself, what's not to love?

Yup,heavy cast WFN or LFN bullets(400-500gr.), large doses of AA2015,RL-7, 3031,H-322, H-335 and you're better off then any of the aforementioned factory ammo, at less then half the price.

I load but am looking for an answer to my question so far I have not seen any of this available in Canada

The rifle you have matters.
For Buffalo Bore, try the Bass Pro Shop in Rocky View, AB. Phone: 403-592-3900 Manager_Calgary_Canada@basspro.com
Buffalo Bore's site says Bass Pro, Stateside, sells their stuff. Don't know about the AB shop, for sure.
These guys sell Corbon ammo, but no mention of .45-70 on their site. Over $50 for 150 grain .30-30. http://www.sporteque.ca/cms.php?id_cms=3
I'd run from Garrett. Their ammo starts at $80US per 20. No mention of any retailers on their site either.
